EDITED 24.11.2009Read this article Yes! Well done!
I was browsing Identity magazine today and I felt something odd.
Once I looked and touched it a bit closer, I noticed there was a sticker!

Of course I wanted know WHY?

Look how it censors the magazine's Dr. Anne's answer to the question:Suspicious He Is Gay?

I'm so disappointed to see that sticker placed over the magazine article. I feel frustrated every day about how far we have to go in the US for equal rights for all people, but I guess I should stop and be thankful for how far we've come. I also need to remember my gay brothers and sisters in Egypt! I hope they can stay strong.
